About Us
Thistledown Creations is creative enterprise for Children’s handmade clothing with Quilts for both Children and Adults. The designs, colours and fabric are bright playful and very easy to wear and maintain. The fabrics are of cotton, minkee (a very soft, plush polyester) and polyurethane laminated film (PUL).
Our line of clothing include: SpringJackets, Raincoats and Sleepwear. They are all handmade by myself, Barb Thistle. They are child friendly, so that they can easily be taken off and on. When given the opportunity, we will purchase fabric where the proceeds sponsor a charity.
Our line of larger Quilts are 60inches squared with a cotton top, 70 cotton 30 polyester batting and a sheared polyester Minkee backing. They are washable in cold water and dry at low heat.
My family contributes their time and expertise too. My eldest son is the accountant, his wife our marketing expert and their children are our models with their ideas of quality control. My youngest son is my computer expert, with his wife being our advertising designer. My husband has been the silent backer at present.
